Portland In the Throes of a
Great Disaster.
MANY INDUSTRIES PARALYZED
Progress of the Flood in Other Sec
tionsA Still Further Rite
Predicted.
The Columbia and Willamette are still
on their mettle, and seem determined to
croate all the destruction possible. From
passengers that arrived on the Tele
phone yesterday, an alarming state of
affairs was, according to statement,
made by them, prevailing In Portland,
and elsewhere along the banks of the
two rivers. The landings between here
and the metropolis are few and far be
tween, and It Is only a question of time
until-it will be impossible for boats to
land anywhere along the line.
The officers of the Telephone all unite
In saying that the flood will increase In
volume, for several days yet to come.
There is no predicting when the rise
will cease. The excessive warm wealiur
that Is now prevailing in the mountain
regions, together with the heavy snow
fall, will doubtless increase the volume
of water very materially. Old river
men have no hesitancy in saying that
the situation Is a -very serious and criti
cal one, especially for Portland.
In that city the bituminous pavement
along Sixth" street, which was finished
In 1893, from Ash street to the depots,
has been entirely washed out. Ladd &
Tilton have moved their quarters up
town,, the bank building having from
five to six inches of water on the floors.
This means about 3 1-2 feet of water at
the corner where the Ladd & Tilton
bank building stands, as the building
has. an elevation of three feet above the
street grade. The Bank of British Co
lumbia has moved its quarters up
stairs, and transacts its business on the
second floor of the building, the lower
floor having, two to three feet of water.
The same may be said of the London
and San Francisco bank.
All boats belonging to the Union Pa
cific, including the Olympia and Vic
toria, which the company had tied up in
the boneyards, are loaded with mer
chandise and cement from the different
docks. Steam (launchea are running up
First street as -far as the Oilman hotel,
and the only approach to the St. Charles
and Esmond hotels la by boat.
Front street, from Morrison down to
the river, is from three to bIx teet un
der water. All wholesale stores along
Front have uptown offices, where they
are trying to transact a little business,
th nnlv means of transporting their
goods being by scows from the different
storei. Yesterday a scow load of rubber
goods was taken from a First street
store and hauled up to Fourth and Ash
streets, and there reloaded on drays.
The railroad bridge is left open at the
draw entirely, as there Is danger of the
bridge being, swept away, the track be
ins ntmrvlatAlv submerged. But one
1UB Wllljriciw.j ' o
warehouse is left out of water, and this
is but 14 to 15 feet above water. Tne
new cement basement under the cham
ber of commerce building has blown up,
owinar to the heavy pressure from un
derneath, the basement now being filled
with water. An attempt was made in
the start to keep the water dpwn by
means of pumps, but the pressure was
so great this was abandoned. Merch
ants have been moving their goods back
onto higher grounds as fast as possible,
but the water has risen so high on Froty.
street tnai iney. nave imu iv
lng. Passengers from the hotels to the
different boats are carried by omnibus
to within three or four blocks of the
riVer, and transferred to boats In small
rowboats.
Assistant Cashier Rogers, of the First
National bank, who has returned from a
trip to Portland, stales that warehouses
cn the east side, which are filled with
wheat, are overflowed, and there is no
way to get the grain out. Consequently
the loss from this scource will be very
large, and will thus add another chap
ter to the financial distress of the me
tropolis.
Mr. London, of Balfour. Guthrie &
Co., Portland, stated that the people of
that city had hopes of a cessation of the
flood until 10 o'clock Friday, when a
dispatch was received from Umatilla
that a rise of 1.1 foot had taken place
at that point, which meant a further
advance of 2 feet In Portland. Later
advices are to the effect that this prog
nostication ' has materialized, and that
the metropolis is a heavy sufferer in
consequence. Mr. London said that all
the stores In the flooded district had
opened branch stores up town, while
Uie wholesale men were moving goods
by means of scows.
Dr. Fulton, who returned last even
ing from an attendance upon the meet
ing of the State Medical Association,
says one feature of . the flood oc
curred to him as beinc Terr peculiar.
and that was that for sereral blocks be-
yond the line reached by the water the
cellars were - slowly being filled up,
whl h suggested to his mind that there
Is considerable made ground in Port
land. In conversation with an old river pilot,
who has heretofore given some valu
able Information regarding high water
to The Astorlan, It was learned that al
though the large sum of $3,000,000 had
been expended in the Improvement of
the river at and near Portland the
benefits derived paled Into Insignifi
cance before the amount paid out. Of
this expenditure $2,000,000 had been
voted by congress and $1,000,000 by pri
vate,,subscrlptlon from the citizens of
Portland. Notwithstanding this vast
outlay, the city is now in the throes of
a great disaster, in which the sympathy
of the public Is extended. Referring to
the matter of Gov. Pcnnoyer'a claim.
that the building of a portage trallway
around The Dalles to connect the Upper

the loss and wastage, by reason of the

to more than the gain In the lowering

of freight rates. The solution of the
problem, is either canal end locks or the
building of a boat railway, and the
sooner the governor will come to an un
derstanding with the United States en
gineers and other experienced authori
ties In this matter, the sooner the prob
lem of an oien river from Idaho to
Astoria and the sea will be solved. The
Impracticable methods which the gov
ernor has so long advocated have been
a detriment to the state, and has been
the means of simply deferring, instead
of aiding, the desired object. The build
ing of portage railways by congress, ad
vocated By the governor, Is directly In
opposition to the policy of the govern-:
ment, and although Individual members
may have favored Buch a policy, their
words are not proven by actions.
In connection with all the above facts,
it may be stated as an illustration of the
advantages of Astoria as a terminal
point, that three schooners are now an
chored In the harbor because they can
not "load In Portland, there being no
wharfage accessible on account of the
flood. As has been stated before, there
Is no difficulty here, and in the natural
order of things there never can be. No
floods can ever affect Astoria, and when
this fact becomes patent to all, this city
will reap the benefits that her natural
advantages are entitled to.
POLITICAL POINTERS FOR ORE
GON VOTERS.
Bulletin.
n la rmw renorted that the president
docs not like the tariff bill as amended
In the senate, and will veto it if It
comes to him in that shape. Especially
he oblests to the metal schedule. Noth
ing is said about his attitude on the
sugar duties. If the bill follows neither
the Chicago platform nor Cleveland's
letter of acceptance, It Is fatherless in
deed. It Is Just possible that after all It
win Ph no one to own It, and be re-
..... c. -
Ljected as a political and economical
Alius nulllus.
The Philadelphia Press.
The crime of the Democratic tariff
scheme, whether It be labelled the Wil
son bill or the Gorman bill, Is that it
undermines and overthrows the long
trlPd fiscal system which is the bul
wark of American industry and labor.
In this general crusade it is an Immcas
nrnhln wrnnir to all broad American In
tresta. But the most flagrant and
nhnmeful feature of the Infamy is that.
while recklessly striking at the com
mon welfare, it unblushlngly bolsters
and gorgts the trusts, and especially the
sugar trust. For the rest there Is at
least a pretence of principle. For this
tw In nothing but the most brazen
corruption.
UNDER THE CHIN.
One of the really new ideas of the
spring hus oome In the shape of strings
on hats. Not strings In the shape a girl
ties them on to the sailor hat when she
takes a steamer ride to Long Branch
but the ribbon strings on the low-crown
ed Enirllsh style of hat, with broad
brim that rolls on both sides. These bits
of ribbon can be any bright color. Then
the bow nestling under the chin has to
be carefully selected, for ir It Is plnK
when It ought to be blue, or blue when
It ouirht to be dark red or dark green
the effect is not likely to Increase the
attractiveness of the girl. These strings
are about an Inch and a half wide and
are fastened at the back Inside the hat.
At first sight they seem very droll, says
the Philadelphia Times, but to many
faces they are a great attraction, al
thoueh thev may wove a trifle warm
about the throat later on. They ran be
worn by sweet IS or her mother equally
as well, although the girl with a pretty
nirvn at th throat is advised not to
destroy It, unless she can tie the most
coquettish and Frenchy of bowknots.

In the lasb presidential election voted
for a change. They got it with a ven

back again. Their eyes have been open
ed to the grave mistake they committed,
and the error will not be repeated.
As a verification of this, it Is only to
call attention to the enthusiasm which
greeted Hon. C. W. Fulton in his mas
terly address at Fisher's hall last night.
ThJ spacious building was crowded, and
cheer after cheer echoed through the
large building as the truth was set forth
In forcible and eloquent style. The
Bpeaker took up the tariff question In
hlH Initiatory remarks, and handled the
same- with a familiarity that bespoke
careful and diligent study. ThejCacts
were given out in a logical an con
vincing style, characteristic of the
speaker, and made a deep Impression
upon the vast assemblage.
Pennoyer was then taken up ana
handled without gloves. The true char
acter of the man who for so long a time
has imposed upon the good nature of
tha neonle of Oregon was exposed. He
was vividly shown up in his true colors
as a demagogue and. monopolist, and

amid the hearty applause of nil pree

THE POPS LAST NIGHT.
Pennoyer and Waldrop Tell the Same
Old Story.
Last night, by 8 o'clock, the People's
Party hall was well filled with both
ladles and gentlemen to hear Gov. Pen
noyer and Joe Waldrop tell what they
know and what a good many others
didn't know, or ever want to know,
either.
The speaking commenced promptly at
8 o'clock by Joe Waldrop, who is
candidate on the Populist ticket for
congressman in the second district. He
claimed that the race was between him
and Mr. Ellis, the Republican nominee
and that there was great enthusiasm In
Eastern Oregon wherever they had
been, but the Democratic candidate
waon't.in It, and he asked the voters to
keep their eyes on the returns, for he
expected to come In under the wire a
irood first.
His three-quarters of an hour being
up, Gov. Pennoyer took his trick at the
wheel. He commenced by giving an
outline of the legislative ' expenses
showing how they had Increased during
the pat eight years, and how, as gov
ermr and a friend of the Deonle. he
had vetoed appropriation bills which he
thought were for useless expenditures.

His proof that the government could

school money loaned at a low rate of
Interest on such securities, nayr. never
lost one dollar.

more salary than he ought, but bo was

that John Sherman was taking the nor
row road of single gold standard to, de
struction, and Grover Cleveland the
same road to damnation. The governor
told a good many old Btorles that helped
keep the crowd in good humor, but they
seemed In a great deal better one when
he bade them good-night and they slow
ly filed down stairs, while Pat O'Hara
and Sofus Jensen put out the gas.
CLEVELAND GETS MAD. .
Under the above heading that stanch
Journal, the Evening Telegram, of yes
terday, prints the following editorial:
"It Is Bald that President Cleveland Is
mad, and very mad, at the senate for
twisting the Wilson tariff Mil out of
shape, and that he proposes to manifest
his displeasure In a published interview
at an early day. This btatement is
made In the New York Herald, and on
authority of Its Washington correspon
dent, who vouches for Its truthfulness.
It seems that Senator Gorman has been
tak.ng unwarranted liberties with the
president's Individual opinions which
were quoted in support of the pending
bill. Mr. Gorman's quotations from the
president's public utterances and from
the Chicago platform were Interpreted
to mean that both favored a trust-pro.
tecled tariff law. This Is given as the
sneclnl provocation for arouBlng Mr.
Cleveland's anger, yet we have an Idea
.hat the cause is deeper seated than
that. The original Wilson bill put coal
on the free list, which was claimed at
the time to be In the Interest of a Nova
Scotia coal syndicate in which Mr.
Whitney and Broker Benedict were par
ticularly Interested. Senator Gorman la
an owner and lonre denier In American
coal, so that when the bill came to the
senate he used his influence to get In a
duty on coal. It was probably a case In
both Instances of looking out for num
ber one.. Mr. Cleveland was looking out
for the Nova Scotia cool Interests, while
Mr. Gorman was looking but for his
Maryland and West Virginia coal mines.
That Is about the Blze of the disagree
ment between Cleveland and Gorman on
the tariff bill."

VALUABLE EGGS.
Two more eggs of the great auk have
been discovered In England and were
sold lust week at auction, one bringing
$875 and the other 11,600. There wa
slight flaw In each egg, which consider
ably lowered Its value. They were
found in a collection of foeslla and egga
which a young collector bought for' $9
at a stile of old household goods In the
country three or four weeks ago. The
collector recognized one of the eggs In
the collection as a great auk's egg be
fore he bid on the lot, but did not dis
cover the second until he got home with
his prize.
The value of the egga was unknown
to the seller. There was also soid at the
nan 10 auction with the two great auk
eggs an egg of the long extinct roc,
made famous in the "Arabian Nights."
This was found In Madagascar, and It
sold for $225. A stuffed specimen of the
grext auk and a perfect egg were sold
In London recently for $3,000,
